Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 August 1895 — Too Polite. [ARTICLE]

Too Polite.

There Is such a thing as being too polite. For Instance, says the Transcript, there la Flumleigh. He went Into a store to Inquire about something or other, and there was nobody but a woman there. He began by asking, “I beg pardon, if you are not engaged—” and before he cOuld say more she Interrupted him with, “This Is so sudden 1” And, by gracious, she accepted him on the spot, and before he knew what was going on. No, sir, it doesn’t pay to be *oo polite. And the speaker shook bls head sagely, and not without a suggestion of sadness.
